Appendix A · The Universe

Two Worlds.
One Sun.

Real life, and the world next door. Connected by a golden and a sun.

The Real World

Life is Golden.

Golden hour, a good dog, and the people who live for both. This is the world the clothes are made for.

The World Next Door

Rory the felt astronaut and Buddy, his golden. A pocket universe stitched by hand, where the dog always wins.

Meet the universe

Real

The muse. The reason it all started.

Real

The proprietor. Reads everything first, misses nothing.

Next Door

The felt astronaut. From the world next door.

Next Door

Bud for short. The closer who wins without a word.

Layla here, Buddy there. The same warm heart, stitched or real. Life is Golden, in every world, and the dog always wins.
